1. What are aluminum alloy windows?
Aluminum alloy windows are window frames made from a combination of aluminum and other metals (e.g.. magnesium or silicon). Thealloy provides strength. durability. and corrosion resistance while remaining lightweight.
2. What are the advantages of aluminum windows?
* Durability: Resistant to rust. warping. and weather damage.
* Low Maintenance: Easy to clean and does not require painting.
* Sleek Design: Thin frames maximize glass area for modern aesthetics.
3. Are aluminum windows energy-efficient?
Yes! Modern aluminum windows often include thermal break technology (a insulating barrier between inner and outer frames) and can be paired with double/triple glazing to reduce heat transfer and lower energy bills.
4. Do aluminum windows rust?
No. Aluminum naturally forms a protective oxide layer. preventing rust. Powder coating or anodizing further enhances corrosion resistance.
5. Can aluminum windows be used in coastal areas?
Yes. Aluminum’s corrosion resistance makes it ideal for salty or humid environments. Opt for powder-coated finishes for extra protection.
6. How long do aluminum windows last?
With proper installation and maintenance. aluminum windows can last 30–50 years or more.
7. Are aluminum windows noisy?
Aluminum itself is not soundproof. but double-glazed glass and sealed frames significantly reduce noise. For high-noise areas. request acoustic-grade glass.
8. Can I install aluminum windows myself?
While DIY installation is possible. professional installation is recommended to ensure proper sealing. alignment. and compliance with building codes.
9. How do I clean aluminum windows?
Use mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Wipe frames with a soft cloth and rinse thoroughly.
10. Are aluminum windows more expensive than uPVC or wood?
Initially. aluminum may cost more than uPVC but is comparable to high-quality wood. Long-term savings come from durability. low maintenance. and energy efficiency.
